Lee and Steve Bae, inspirational intersectionality from Elán Diaz and Janine Ting Jansen, illustrated bilingual Bitty Bao books from Lulu Cheng and Lacey Benard, and a scintillating showcase of AANHPI corporate and community leaders hosted and awarded by Southern California Edison (SCE). 🍰💡🥳 The month of May also marked my very first year at SCE! 📖🧠 Being a lifelong learner during this month has been cultivating how to know a person through the genuine human connection thriving within Jill C. Anderson’s book club, harvesting a mind-augmenting crop of neurobiological applications for business with Dr. Michael Platt and Wharton Executive Education colleagues worldwide, and climbing up strength vines with Southern California Edison Networkers Business Resource Group’s leadership cohort. 🌸 Diversity is power. 🌸 We lift as we climb. 🌸 Aquí estamos. 我們在這裡。 #AAPIHeritageMonth #AANHPI #DEI #NeuroScience #LeadershipDevelopment #InclusiveLeadership #DiversityIsPower #AsianLatina #LatinAsian #AsianLatinos 🙏🏼Gracias Juan Partida Morales, CPC, CFA, Rosalie Barcinas, Shinjini Menon, Lorene Miller, Joanne Tran, Elaine Quon, Millie N., Chris Cabrera, Yashica Wiley, CPCC, ACC, Ranzel Cross, Naliny Stewart, Megan Yoo Schneider, EdD, MSEd, MSEng, PE, Adrian (Ado) Ninnes, Karen Loong, Joey Quenga, Katelyn Farned, Soo Edwards, H'Atina Gilliard
